31 North 62 East
The film, a psychological political thriller, tells the story of a British Prime Minister who gives up the position of an SAS unit in Afghanistan to ensure a UK £80 billion arms deal goes through – thus assuring his re-election.
All soldiers in the SAS unit are thought to have died, until 2 months later, when one of them (a female Captain in the SAS) is found by Italian special forces and returns to the UK to investigate matters.
The first version of the script for '31 North 62 East' took less than 3 weeks to be put together by Leofwine Loraine and was delivered on 02 May 2008 to 31 North 62 East Ltd.
Award winning Fact Not Fiction Films was immediately contracted with the ambitious task of not only producing the entire film but to complete UK shooting within 4 months.
Many said it could not be done but just before midnight on 02 September 2008 the last of the UK filming was wrapped, on schedule.
